Rape allegations
In 1989, Lloyd Irvin was accused of participating in a gang rape of a 17-year-old Hampton University student. Although his cohorts were convicted of the charge of rape, Irvin himself was acquitted because he convinced the jury that he was unable to participate in the act due to sexual impotence.
Former students of Irvin have also publicly condemned him.
Irvin tried to burnish his image by buying up domain names that included his name and the word "rape", such as www.lloydirvinrape.com.
